Suki Jeong is an expert at only two things: failing math class and worrying about her sister's cancer. Her life in L.A. is quiet, safe, and completely ordinary-until a flyer at her local Asian mart offers a desperate way out. An audition for K-pop trainees. 🎤 Suki has zero talent. Like, actually none. She can't dance, her singing is strictly a solo shower act, and she knows nothing about idols. But with a one-way ticket to Seoul and the help of her mysterious neighbor, Auntie Jing, she's diving headfirst into the world's most brutal industry. Between a cold CEO, grueling dance challenges, and fierce rivals who want her gone-not to mention an enemy who's becoming a crush she definitely should not trust-much less fall for-can someone this ordinary survive the stage? But she isn't doing this for fame. She's doing it for Ari... right? No training. No backup plan. Just a heart full of recklessness and a desperate need to win. Suki is going to scrape her way to the top-or break trying. CW: This story contains themes of illness (cancer) and hospital settings. Please read with care. Copyright: © 2026 by HalfMoon_Huntress.
